Cute image!
I used two-way on the 2(s) in R16 and no other advanced logic. Funny that this was suspected of requiring guessing :)
After LL#5: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 11, 2023 classify
There is only one more 1 to place in r11, so at least two of the 5s in c11,12,&13 must go down. No matter how you try to place those two 5s in the lower space it forces the third 5 to be there as well.
LL to finish
Found to have a unique solution by infrapinklizzard.#6: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Jan 21, 2024 [HINT] classify
78% with LL. I saw what Joe did. To be pedantic, it's C11/12/14.
I also didn't see a way to use LL at 88% but as a safety valve, if R15C15 is a dot so is C16 and then we have a 2 in R11, a contradiction. Then, line logic.
